Bruce bewitched by angel Gabriel

STEVE BRUCE was left cursing the name of Gabriel Agbonlahor for the second time this season as Wigan’s recent revival was brought to a grinding halt in the JJB Stadium mud.

Just seven weeks ago, Agbonlahor scored Aston Villa’s winner in a 2-1 victory at Birmingham when Bruce was in charge of the Blues.

Bruce may have since joined Wigan, but yesterday it was a case of deja vu for the Latics manager as Agbonlahor again proved to be a thorn in his side by netting the deciding goal.
